This theft reaches a new level of low:

I feel so bad for this man.

That is so wrong, on so many different levels.

People make me crazy lately. This is just another excellent example.

That's in Albany, just 40 minutes from me.
I seem to recall this same thing happening somewhere last year- a disabled man's special trike getting stolen (red, even)...and it was recovered a couple of weeks later, apparently the thieves left it in an obvious place so it could be returned. Either they had a change of heart after finding out about the bike owner, or (more likely) realized they had a bike that could be easily identified and they'd get the book thrown at them if caught with it.
Hope this guy gets his bike back too.

Oh that just broke my heart. It sounds like it isn't a bike he wants it is HIS bike. I hope it is found and he can resume his independence with joy.

I emailed the reporter to find out about making a donation. He says that at this time some Dept of NYS is going to replace the bike.

I agree that it sounds like he really wants HIS bike back. I hope it's found.
